Have they specified an operating system?
Some schools are Apple only I think?

Thanks. Cant’ believe I didn’t tag you! I’ve an offer of a samsung galaxy tab A for about 160£. Am I paying a giant Apple premium with the new one? or is it worth it?
No. The stuff is on google classroom.
Sold!
I’d go for something rugged for the smallies.

Can you give me a bell?
My two use iPads for school due to dyspraxia and dysgraphia respectively - they struggle to write. They have the keyboard attached. Works fine for them. There are kids typing courses on line I can try and find out what one they use
I think any tablet with a decent keyboard attached would do the same. The keyboard is more important than the tablet I would nearly say.

Mrs J feels slightly undercut by the industrious and helpful nature of the tfk community. She has announced that I should take @Rocko’s tablet for the kids but that she wants to buy an iPad for herself. Because she likes her iPhone. Which is now a house phone by virtue of the fact that it is permanently attached to a charger or it turns off.
Are other tablets compatible with iPhones as well or does it have to be Apple all the way.
Get the iPad I referenced above AND and Fast Charger for the iPhone. The charger that comes in the box is shite.

take the iphone to be “fixed” i.e take a hammer to it when shes not looking and say you took it for a repair but there was nothing they could do. then give her a oneplus and a samsung tab. jobs a goodun

Do people still buy Apple products?? 
For all the slagging, I’ve an iPad on the go for about 7 years and still in great nick. My Macbook Pro is nearly 11 years old. Has got a serious amount of use and abuse and still standing strong.
It being a two trillion dollar company suggests they do.
